Huzzah!

[Adrian 2]

Glad to see the forums are up and running again! (also slightly curious as to what happened, but mainly I'm just glad that the forums seem to be alive again)

[Metis 1,118]

I...wasn't having any trouble earlier, that I noticed.

[Albert 1]

It's moving along I guess... People are also hoping that the Greenlight will lead to some publishing of Year 1 and eventually Y2.

[Adrian 2]

There hasn't been any problems? I have not been able to load the page for a few days. Maybe it is something on my end then! I am visiting my parents and on their net, so it may be that the site is somehow blocked back home.

 

Well, if nothing else then I'm glad that I have access again.

[freespace2dotcom 1,030]

Well, I can say with confidence that DLC 17 is coming along nicely. I've been beta testing it for the team, and I have to say it looks really awesome, though I haven't been able to really get into it because all the bugs have forced it to crash too much on me.

 

I'd *love* to show you guys but then I'd never get invited for another beta test again, and Y2 is just too irresistable to risk losing the chance to play that early.

[Schwarzbart 1,065]

I also didn't have any problems to connect to the forum in the last days so its most likely something on your side (ISP or your own PC).

@Freespace there is someone happy for not having to sign a NDA despite in a Beta Test ^^

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Haha! We talked about it, but we figured you all were trustworthy.

[freespace2dotcom 1,030]

Well, I'm certainly not the type to do unsavory things with such information, but I admit it is very hard to not gush out on the forums.

 

I'm 99% sure the only thing holding me back on that is my respect for the team, and the fear of them closing their hearts to us due to, erm, *acccidental* releases. It's an unspoken honor and responsiblity, etc, etc, etc. And we need to preserve these bones when they're given because waiting without them would be unbearable.

 

That, and I want them to keep answering my questions!

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Hahaha! All good points.

[freespace2dotcom 1,030]

Hold on to your...

 

 

(No I don't own the game, but the soundtrack really rocks)

[Adrian 2]

This does sound really good at any rate! I'm looking forward to the finished product

[Ranielle Limeleaf 0]

Hey if you say it's good, it's good enough for me. Huzzah!

[drake_azathoth 0]

Awesome to hear that they're doing testing on DLC 17. I was hoping for a Christmas release date, but better it be tested than for it to be released wth game-crashing bugs.

[freespace2dotcom 1,030]

Yup. At them moment, with the current build, I can't even start a new game without it locking up, on the previous build, It crashed on my first turn. Nobody wants that to happen, especially new steam players.

[Metis 1,118]

Really? In my case the previous build crashed upon trying to load the DLC unless my cache wasn't empty (which would have been mighty problematic for any newcomers...), and the current build fixed it.

[freespace2dotcom 1,030]

Oh, yeah? Well, in the previous build, half of the GUI was hidden from my screen because the game failed to scale for resolution.

[Metis 1,118]

That's...odd. By now I've gone so far as to take two students all the way into Aruit to test REs, since I've already found [redacted] that I'm going to find (though the last time I said that I [redacted] all at once, so take it with a grain of salt) and so I decided to look for new REs. I admittedly am somewhat lacking on the positive identification of new REs front, but still....

 

Spoiler: My current char has been casting Luck Luck Luck Luck Luck religiously since the start of Gelamenus, and over four ingame months later I'm still getting an RE every day. And, of course, [redacted]. Though that perhaps was to be expected.

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Oh yeah? Well, in the previous build, I started with 100 Items and basically half the school was my friend. So there!

[Metis 1,118]

*Checks to confirm the wardrobe actually supports 100 items*

 

Comfortably? Well, huh. That's...one hell of a wardrobe, actually. Pray tell, Legate, how do our PCs stuff potentially 100+ items into a single wardrobe anyhow? It's not Gates-enchanted, is it? Because I'm totally stealing that thing if it is.

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Definitely not! It's...uh...a completely legal enchantment I'm uninformed about.

 

Yeah, that's it.

[Ascartand 3]

We mastered the art of protagonist storage. that is how. No illegal magic at all.

[Adrian 2]

At any rate, if it IS gate magic - and I am not saying that it is mind you - but if it is, then clearly it was like that before I got it. Obviously

[Albert 1]

The school is old, the dorms are very old aswell... We can only guess how old that wardrobe might be....

 

Maybe it was crafted by Vernin 5th years during the era when gates was "legal" and the Legate ordered them to create these wardrobes to end all the complaints and issues about schooluniforms going missing, so the wardrobes were enchanted with a bag of holding similar enchantment and a special ward that only allowed the legal room occupant to open and utilise the wardrobe without breaking all the enchantments and the wardrobe alltogether.. Which I'm sure was made very sturdy.

 

There you have it. That's why noone ever messes with your wardrobe, because they know how hard or pointless it is, least among first years. Maybe if you were a super skilled 5th year skilled in enchantments and I guess the Gates and whatever else might have been enchanted on it... Then maybe you could stretch the magic just like you did with that map in the Legates adventure.

[Metis 1,118]

Pretty sure that'd contradict Rui's student adventure, actually.

Can't recall that adventure... will have to check...
